Abstract
Today most Americans live in metropolitan regions which are comprised of numerous local governments. Home rule jurisdiction precludes these local governments from acting in isolation to curb the negative impact of sprawl. However, issues of regional significance that are not addressed by the state result in a regulatory vacuum. Juliana Todeschi explores how a general-purpose regional government structure can fill that regulatory vacuum, promoting a sustainable metropolitan region. Ms. Todeschi argues a regional governance approach better fits transit-oriented development and analyzes the Denver region in a case study.
